Young Musicians’ Award

The Dunedin Youth Orchestra awards two annual scholarships for musicianship, known as the Dunedin Youth Orchestra Young Musicians’ Award. The purpose of the Award is to recognise outstanding achievement and commitment of Dunedin Youth Orchestra members. The two selected members of the orchestra will receive financial assistance to further their musical career. Recipients also have the opportunity to play a solo piece with the orchestra in the year following the award.

A selected member represents a young musician who has been judged to have the potential to achieve further heights in their musical performance or career and who represents what can be achieved through hard work and endeavour.

The awards are presented in September; applications close mid August and are limited to players who are members of DYO for both semesters of the current year, have played in the semester 1 concert and will be playing in the semester 2 concert of the current year.
